Leslie Benzies, president of Rockstar North, hails the accomplishments a studio can achieve in that "last five to ten per cent of work" on a game, which can grant all the difference in the world when it's finished.

Frankly, the "level of perfection" witnessed in the likes of Grand Theft Auto V is "not seen or understood" by the majority of the industry, remarked Benzies.

The first day of the Xbox 360 "Ultimate Game Sale" has some pretty good deals on Xbox Live Marketplace, with Assassin's Creed 3 being sold for $14.99 USD, Far Cry 3 for $19.99, Max Payne 3 for $9.99 and Borderlands 2 for only $9.99.

In a Rockstar Newswire post talking about the new Crews system they introduced with Max Payne 3, the studio teases in their opening line that "first info" about GTA V online is due out soon for fans to digest.

They say a whole slew of Crews are "rallying, preparing and raring to go" with some interesting emblems. Rockstar has said that Crews would 'carry over' into GTA V.
